Patented Dec. 15, 1931 -UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE MICHAEL FARJONE, OF WATER'I'OWN, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO LAZARUS STAMA'I, OF WATERTOWN, NEW YORK mnnn's N'ECK nus'rna Application filed April 21, 1931. Serial No. 531,767.

The present invention relates to a duster such as is used in barber shops by barbers in dusting off customers necks after a hair cut and the like and the prime object of the invention resides in the provision of a sanitary device wherein the brush portion is of a paper construction which is easily removable from a handle and may be discarded.

Another very important object of the invention resides in the provision of a sanitary neck duster of this nature which is exceedingly inexpensive to manufacture, thoroughly eiiicient and reliable in use, and otherwise well adapted to the purpose for which it is designed.

With the above and numerous other objects in view as will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in certain novel features of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed. V

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a duster embodying the features of my invention.

Figure 2 is a similar view but showing the handle in section. v

Figure 3 is a plan view of the paper from which the head of the brush is constructed.

Figure 4 is a perspective view of a brush head, and

Figure 5 is a sectional view taken substantially on the line 55 of Figure 2.

Referring to the drawings in detail it will be seen that the numeral 5 denotes a handle of hollow construction and open at one end. The letter P denotes an oblong sheet preferably of tissue paper or the like which is slitted transversely beginning along a line parallel to and slightly spacedfrom one longitudinal edge and extending to the other longitudinal edge, the slitted portion terminating adjacent to one end so as to leave a non-slitted portion 6 which is scored along the line 7 in continuation of the line at which the slits which form the bristles 8 start. This sheet is rolled up with the portion 6' on the outside and the end 9 is inserted in the open end of the handle 7 When it is desired to,

use the duster then the portion 6 is torn off thus exposing the bristles so that powder or the "like may be sprinkled thereon and then the duster is used as any ordinary duster. After having been used, the paper head is pulled out of the handle and thrown away and another inserted in place.

It is thought that the construction, utility,

and advantages of this invention will now be quite apparent to those skilled in this art Without a more detailed description thereof.

The present embodiment of the invention has been described in detail merely for the purposes of exemplification since in actual practice it attains the features of advantage enumerated as desirable in the statement of r the invention and the above description.

It will be apparent that changes in the details of construction, and inthe combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed or sacrificing any of its advantages.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is:

A brush of the class described including a handle having an open end, and a destructible bristle head inserted therein, said head being formed from an oblong sheet of paper slitted at one transverse end transversely from a line adjacent to one longitudinal edge to the other longitudinal edge except for a portion adjacent one end,'said sheet being rolled up with the unslitted portion on the outside, said unslitted portion having a scored line formed thereon in alinement with the inner ends of the slits so that itmay be torn off, said unslitted portion enclosing the slitted part when the sheet is rolled up.

In testimony whereof I ailix my signature.

MICHAEL FARONE.
